Nick Rewind
DVDs

Nick Rewind is a collection of DVDs of older Nickelodeon television shows. The
first two DVDs in this collection were released on May 17, 2005:
Clarissa Explains It
All[1]
and The
Adventures of Pete and Pete.[2]
These DVDs sold so well that Nickelodeon then released Season 2 of
Pete and Pete in November 2005.[3]
The third season of Pete and Pete, as well as Volume One of "You
Can't Do That on Television", were set for release in the spring of
2006, but after several postponements, the releases are currently
on hiatus.[4]
In 2008, Nickelodeon created a deal with Amazon.com to sell exclusive DVD sets which
included three shows under the Nick Rewind name (Doug, Rocko's
Modern Life, Hey Arnold!, and Rugrats).

Future of
Nick Rewind

While Nickelodeon had announced plans to release You Can't
Do That on Television and Season 3 of The Adventures of
Pete and Pete, Nickelodeon's parent company, Viacom, was in the process of splitting with CBS. Also, Nickelodeon's president, Herb Scannell, had
stepped down. It is
believed that this may be the reason why these titles and any
others relating to Nick Rewind have been pulled.[6]
It has also been reported that the clearances for You Can't Do That on
Television were too complicated for a DVD release as of yet,
since it not only involves the numerous cast members who appeared
on the show, but also involves the show's owner, CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario,
and in turn that station's current owner, the CTV
Network division of CTVglobemedia.[6]
The block has since stopped airing on Nickelodeon and with the
phasing out of all former classic programming on Nickelodeon's web
video on
demand service, all future plans for archived programming are
unknown. A Nick Rewind channel is unknown.
